Driver Education Addeds , Physical Fitness Stressed With added emphasis being placed on the physical fitness of American youth, the phy- sical education department of Holy Cross has strengthened its course. President Kennedy has stressed repeated- ly the importance of a strong and vital na- tion--of a physically fit young America. As a result, more stress is being placed on exer- cises and contact sports which help to de- velop a keen sense of coordination and a spirit of teamwork. This year something new has been added to the juniors' course of study. Driver Educa- tion is now an essential part of their curri- culum. A passing grade in this subject com- pensates for the written test accompanying application for a driving permit. By teach- ing the basic fundamentals of safety habits in driving, Holy Cross hopes to produce com- petent and careful drivers.

Gerald McGrath's real broken arm proves conven- ient for Michael Valinis, as he practices fixing a sling in First Aid class. Now where does this go? Philip Fuoco and Rob- ert Koch attempt to replace detached parts of the human torso. 54 First Aid Introduced as Seniors' Health Program Good development of the mind begins with the proper care of the body. This is one of the underlying principles of freshman and sopho- more health classes at Holy Cross. These classes provide necessary information concerning the composition of man and his need for proper consideration. During this course, stu- dents become acquainted with the structure, sys- tems, and functions of the human body. To teach the correct procedure in preserving health, a new class for seniors has been intro- duced into the Health Department-First Aid. A practical approach to problems in daily life, the course includes demonstrations and various projects. Through facts and techniques, First Aid prepares the student, physically, to handle logic- ally, the everyday experiences and accidents that befall man. .
